Sociolinguistics (MA)

"I have finished my Bachelor programme in Foreign Language and Literature (English) a year ago. Now I am studying at the faculty of humanities for a Master's degree at the Departement of Linguistics.
If I had the possibility I would love to work as a PR-expert and communication officer after graduation. A job in a culture and tourism center would also fit my interests."
